Nice try by rugby bosses

SCOTTISH Rugby said it was disappointed the SFA did not choose Murrayfield over Hampden.

Chief operating officer Dominic McKay said: “Scottish Rugby would like to thank the Scottish FA for the opportunity to bid to host future Scotland internationals and cup final matches at BT Murrayfield.

“We submitted a compelling and thorough bid package which we believe would have been excellent for the Scottish FA.

“Our presentation clearly demonstrated the significant benefits of Scotland’s largest stadium and how we have worked to develop a quality experience for all visiting fans.

“We are naturally disappointed this oncein-a-generation opportunity to develop a partnership for a true national stadium for Scotland at BT Murrayfield has not been taken.”
